    Good idea! Does it have to be a different machine? I’m guessing because the trial will fight with my current software?

    I don’t find myself working with mxf files that often. In fact, this is my first time, hence why I didn’t know about Xpress not reading 2:1. This was a one-time-deal because it is b-roll footage to use for future videos. Usually I’m on my own in getting shots, and I was surprised they even gave it to me when I asked. If I do find myself in this situation often (which if they said yes once…), then I could argue about saving time.

    Thank you.

    Yes, but because they are in WI and I am in PA, it will take some time. I was just wondering if there was anything I could do now instead of waiting for mail.

    My department is using Moodle for our learning management system. We are in the process of switching lms hosts, so I couldn’t tell you a whole lot about it yet. I can tell you on my end, I am using Lectora Inspire to create the modules (think Powerpoint slides but more interactive.) This is where you add videos, quizzes, pictures, etc. Then we use SCORM to upload the module to Moodle. Then the student logs in, takes the course, and gets credit.

    So to summarize – Moodle is the learning management system to host your courses. Lectora Inspire is the software you use to design the courses. Both are separate, meaning if you want to use Adobe Captivate instead, you can use Moodle and Captivate.

    No Dreamweaver is involved unless you go with the software only. In Lectora, you can publish as html and host it on a web server. However, I’m not sure if you can keep track of which students take which courses.

    My boss and I talked with IT, and they don’t have the capabilites to help us. I work in a manufacturing company, so it’s not like they are dedicated to videos like a production house would (if that makes sense).

    I just recently purchased this collection with my company https://www.footagefirm.com/freeproductionmusic.html

    I haven’t used them yet because it’s in the shipping process, but I was impressed with the demos.

    I have this to use with my sound booth for VOs https://emusician.com/consoles/emusic_digidesign_digi/ and it works in conjunction with Pro Tools. I forget what the microphone is in the sound booth.

    I don’t have any specific models right now as I’m still looking around. After the feedback I’ve gotten so far, I’m going to do more research and hopefully narrow it down.

    Thanks!

    I do have XLR inputs, but I didn’t know that some cameras didn’t have that. Good to know there is a solution if I ever run into that problem.

    Why do you prefer wireless lav vs wired? I’ve only worked with wired, and I’m curious to learn more.

    “As far as budget, I was told to find what I need to buy, and my boss and I will discuss what we need and what’s really a “wishlist” item. So in regards to price, probably on the slightly cheaper side but not so much that it becomes a piece of junk. For example, I probably can’t justify buying $100 pair of headphones.”

    This was the little excerpt on my budget. I know it’s not very specific, but I asked again and even asked someone else, and although I didn’t get a definite answer, they seemed ok with $5000 rather than $10,000. We’ll see when I give them my list.

    I was surprised at landing a job like this as my first job, but I think they were more focused on results (aka demo reel) rather than experience in years, which apparently worked in my favor. I’ll take a look at the links. Thanks Steve!
